Monk: Mr. Monk Gets Stuck in Traffic (2005)
Boring and Silly
This episode is so far the worst of the series. I have been enjoying Monk a lot so far, but when I got halfway through this episode I just wanted to skip it.
The episode started off strong however it all started becoming quite implausible.
Very incompetent highway rangers, annoying side characters, and an anti-climactic ending.
I know casual tv shows end up being predictable and has its own formula but Monk has been fun so far that you can easily overlook it.
This episode did deviate - Disher and Stottlemeyer aren't in it - but to me it didn't work.
This is my first watch of the series, hopefully not too many other episodes like this.
Death and Other Details (2024)
Yikes, why did I waste my time.
I was intrigued by the first couple of episodes and was excited for another potential 'Knives Out'-esque story and twist.
However after slowly watching this series week after week I was just more bored and disappointed. I should have suffered defeat 4 episodes in.
I got over the "someone killed my mom so I am going to talk to you through gritted teeth" over-acted garbage real quick. The script and actor just made Imogene soo annoying and I started rooting against her (also - a change of hair style would have been better). The fact that Cotesworth ended up being a fake was a weird add to the story, his deductions were the only parts I liked. How could he be a phoney and also that good?
The twist at the end (Viktor Sams reveal) was, I must admit, unexpected however it didn't really thrill me and then the last episode being set in a luxe ski resort was just weird.
If you're extremely bored and enjoy a slow moving storyline, repetitive scenes, plot deviations, and a mix of okay and insufferable acting then watch on. But don't say I didn't warn you.
